We are a movement of Michigan citizens who believe in creating economic opportunity for everyone.
Not through expensive big-government programs that pick and choose who gets handouts or through corporate crony tax carve outs and subsidies…
But through entrepreneurship and hard work sparked by keeping taxes simple, fair and low, holding the line on government spending, and lifting the bureaucratic red tape strangling the American Dream.
Our story is the story of hard-working Michigan families who have confronted a foe they cannot defeat by themselves—the specter of big-government that tries to regulate and tax their at-home business…that keeps raising the “government rent” on owning a home…that regulates their skilled trade…that raises taxes but doesn’t deliver on promised improvements to infrastructure or public education.
The citizens who make up the Michigan Prosperity Project don’t work for the principles of free enterprise just when it is convenient or when the political powers that be say we can.
We work for economic freedom and opportunity for all of the people all of the time.

We are Michigan people with Michigan priorities seeking more prosperity for our state. We don’t answer to Washington, DC, or its upside-down priorities.

We will stand up against expensive government handouts—whether they are for individuals who don’t want to work or for businesses that don’t want to compete fairly.
